It Trading and Take Your Time Holland!
We also have a new card blank choice from Card Deco. These blanks are between the weights of our previous choices. They are not super heavy and are not super light. They are 240gsm--just between the two sizes. LINK
Quilling classes continue and we are having GREAT FUN! If you don't have a kit, you are not too late. We assembled more today! LINK
You only need a few basic supplies to get started. You need:
Quilling papers in a variety of colors,
A slotted quilling tool,
A quilling needle (like a pokey tool for getting in small places,

We will push our next Quilling Class, "Quilling with Carta Bella," back one week. In this fun class, we will create 12 cards from our inexpensive Carta Bella Kit, which can then be decorated with our new quilling techniques! I made up the full paper pack and I think I got 17 cards from the papers supplied in this kit. The twelve cards we will complete cost $1.41 each (plus the cost of any quilling we add to them.) You will have a dozen fabulous cards for less than $2.00 each!
